While everyone is scrambling for hp camera puzzle pieces, and the elusive puzzle key, I thought I would tell you about 2 times I attempted to remove hair from my legs using a method OTHER than shaving.

The first time, I borrowed my aunt’s epilady and gave it a whirl. That thing would easily qualify for a device of torture. Not only did it rip hair out, but I think it took off the first layer of skin! No siree, epilators were obviously not for me. After that, I tried a popular hair removal cream called Nair. Again – I ended up missing the first layer of skin off my legs, because it BURNED so bad. My skin was way to tender and delicate for any hair removal creams!

Since then, I’ve stuck with just shaving for my legs, and I swear by the Venus Divine razor. I have going for a waxing of “other” body parts during bikini season, and that’s what I prefer. I just can’t do it on my legs because that would require not shaving my legs for a week or more to grow out the hair. No thanks!

Oh, I called about permanent hair removal once too. Prices started at $400..and that was for a 3 inch area of skin. Or try $800, JUST for your armpits. (I’ve often thought how nice it would be to never have to shave there again!) Too rich for my blood! This site has a lot of info on various hair removal products A good selection of everything from creams to machines, or waxing strips, if you prefer exists, so you can choose your method of “torture”. You can also view the pros and cons of each method of hair removal.

Bikini season is only a few months away…;-)
